I was wondering on the reason behind this edition of Strands, and then I noticed the date on my laptop screen.
Fortunately, you didn’t have to be a Star Wars fanatic to enjoy today’s search, which instead pays tribute to the opening war, the initial piece of fluent text that became a signature of all Star Wars movies.
In the original 1977 version, the text that begins “long ago was in a galaxy far, far away …”, designed to sync with John William’s main theme, with each new section timing with a new section of music.
Unfortunately, this subtle effect was lost when the film was gentleit “a new hope” and then became chapter four of the nine-divided Luke Skywalker saga and the insignificant seed from the scattered 99-part franchise.
For all the hooplah to follow, the opening crawl was a reminder of the power of the word to put the imagination flowing and transporting us to another dimension. May the fourth be with you.
